Dr. Sam Parnia is the first Englishman to use scientific experiments to prove a "soul" actually exists.
As part of the AWARE study Parnia and colleagues have investigated out of body claims by using hidden targets placed on shelves that could only be seen from above . Parnia has written "if no one sees the pictures, it shows these experiences are illusions or false memories"
Result : in more than 100 dying patients , seven patients were saved life can return to the scene , and they were able to answer exactly what material to the tray hanging from the ceiling .

If there is germs or bacteria in heaven, I'm guessing that it they all make you healthy instead of sick. Maybe you can even interact with them. They may be intelligent. Does that sound right? I wonder how things really work there.

Sickness, to our physical bodies in this physical world, caused by 'germs' - bacteria, viruses etc., is an integral part of physical existence. A spiritual existence presumably would not include sickness because we will be non-physical beings in heaven.

Awesome! I also wonder if there are any ways of experiencing the realm of heaven without coming close to death because I've tried other ways such as astral projection and meditation, and it has been very difficult for me and I have had no success. What are some of the best ways to do that?

I don't know any way experiencing the realm of Heaven apart from, in a small way, through 'astral projection and meditation'. Rarely, it seems to happen spontaneously - but we have no control over that. Drugs would not create a true replica of Heaven.

Maybe the best thing is to live our lives as best we can and wait patiently until we can experience the real thing. We'll get there soon enough!

No, not really.
What basically happened is that The AWARE study learned that their method of research did not fit well with the subject.
The 'targets' placed for experiencers to observe while out of their bodies were of little or no interest to those who have just discovered that they are aware while out of their bodies, also the locations were not where most experiences actually happened. If I asked you when was the last time you saw a barbie doll, you probably couldn't answer that, but ask a seven year old girl and they will know for sure. If you want people to notice they have to have an interest at the time.
There were just enough positives to warrant further research, which is a good thing, but the real meat of the results will take a while longer AFAIK.
